I think the biggest take away from this is how they achieved the main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible trem'e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the up-end of the grammeters.
That was and still is some very heavy stuff!

I just realized how strikingly similar this product is to a TurboZUL8TR.

Some of this information has been helpful toward my winter rebuild of the MGB, so I though some of you could benefit from the basic engineering principals outlined here. Old school technology, yes, but sometimes it helps to go back to where we started from in order to perfect our efforts to supress side tremmy to the trunion bearings and eliminate this all to common failure in our cars.

The Periscope roof was a trademark of the LP400 cars to make the rear view mirror more usefull. The gearbox whine really is that loud.

Flames and a glimpse of Walter Wolf's factory built special LP400 that the S cars were then based on. I don't understand what they are saying, but I believe they are fuhnny guys.
